M7047 Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Have a client that had social security and medicare taxes withheld on only 2158.00 of their 59000.00 wages. Of course they didn't notice it throughout the year. Do I file 8919 on the difference and how do we make sure the company's part was taken care of?

Lee B Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 I would think the first step is for the client to get an explanation from their payroll department . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's supposed to be doing that today. I'm just concerned with the due date being so close, if they have to make up the missed amounts on the return, they're not going to have it.

Lee B Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Until they get an explanation from their employer, all you can do is wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again though, they would still have to come up with over 4000.00 by the due date to make up for their part, and that would still be due Monday.

Medlin Software, Dennis Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 They noticed the increased net and spent it. Employees always question a penny less than expected, and rarely question increased net until tax time. In any case, the employer will eventually get dunned for their part of any underpayment and the employee is responsible for their underpayment (even if employer error or omission). If the person likes their job, file and pay and let the irs deal with the employer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they can tell me they didn't notice the sudden increase in their take home pay. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
